Tree Shaped Christmas Ornament Display

I am putting together one of my Christmas mantles and I was looking for a centerpiece for the mantle that would also showcase some of my favorite ornaments. I was inspired by this one from BHG and so I decided to make my own version. I wanted to make mine a little more modern to go with the theme for my mantle.

I purchased some 12 gauge wire and cut long pieces into two and twisted them. Then I made them into a shape of a tree. I based my size of the tree on the frame from Hobby Lobby that I used. The frame is 28" by 32" and my tree is 24" tall and 21" wide.

Once I made the tree frame I cut wire for the tree limbs. They are about 4" apart. I curled one end and then secured it to one side of the tree frame and then to the other. I then made ornament hooks out of leftover wire. The wire was a shiny black color so I decided to spray paint it brown to tie in better with the theme of my mantle and the frame. The frame is an espresso color with gold rubbed edges.

My husband hung the tree and frame on my mantle and then I decorated my 'tree'. I used favorite white ornaments I already had from over the years. They are from Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Joann's, and Target.

What do you think? It looks so great on my mantle and I can't wait to share the rest of the mantle with you all! Do you have a fun or special way to showcase your favorite ornaments?

This looks so beautiful! I love the mix of the wood tones, white, and green. I like yours even better than the one from BHG! Happy to have found your blog -- looking forward to seeing your Christmas mantel!
